Herb Seed Balls In A Tube Basil

Regularly pick the leaves to use in the kitchen, but allow some plants to flower to benefit our bees and butterflies.

To help protect the seeds from predators, they are encased in a protective ball of clay, peat-free compost, and chilli powder. The clay makes the seeds inaccessible to predators, and once they germinate they are helped along by the nutrients and minerals from the compost. The chilli powder helps protect them from slugs and snails.

Incredibly easy to use - so they're perfect for non-gardeners and gardeners alike - simply scatter the seed balls on top of soil or compost, give them an occasional water, and watch them grow!

They're best scattered in either the Spring or the Autumn.
